Programme of the High School Section.
In the programme of the high school section
to-day there will be read three papers, selected
from competitive examination. At the meeting
of the association last year resolution intro
duced by Supt E. E. Griffith, of Frankfort. ia
yorine the merit system of selecting papers, was
passed. and accordingly the high school execu-
tive committee invited teachers of high-sehools
to contribute papers, and appointed three judges
to select the best three thus submitted The
judges consisted of DR.. j. L Irwin. of Fit
Wayne; Prof w. J. Bryan, of Bloomington.
and Miss Ruth Morris. of Terre Hauta The
successful competitors Miss Martin,
of the Indianapolis High-school, on the
subject Plant Chemistry in High schools"
Mr. W. E. Henry, of the Peru schools,
on Literature in the High -schools;''
and Superintendent S. E. HARDWOOD of Attica
on the Efficiency of the Commissioned High
school" These papers will be read to-day
Since this plan has worked SO successfully in
the high school section there are many who
think it should form feature in all the depart
menrs of the association. Much dissatisfaction
has hitherto been manifested by appointments
which committees have made, and it is thought
some change should be made whereby the priv

A Singular Case in Wilmington.

j G. Stab, baker of Wilmington,
so it is said, has just recovered from a
singular affection. Three years ago,
while sitting in his house reading a
paper, he was considerably annoyed by
flying bugs and insects, which were at
tracted by the lighted lamp, and one OF
them, commonly known as the miller,
flew into his right ear. The sensations
caused by the fluttering insect as it en-
tered his head were horrible, and al
most set the sufferer crazy. During
the night following the occurrence all
dlsagreeable sensations disappeared,
and Mr.. Stab thought the insect had
been removed.
He experienced no ill-effects until
about seven weeks ago, when he occa-
sionally felt darting pains in his head,
and other symptoms usually incident
to heavy cold appeared. His head
began to swell, one eve was almost
closed, and the ear through which the
insect had passed became deaf A
physician was called, and, as the pa
TENTS symptoms became more alarm
ing, serious results We're feared. Milk
pOultices were applied, and Mr.. Staib
bathed his ear with salt water On
the second day after beginning this
treatment Mr.. Stab again experienced
the tluttering sensation in his ear, and
was utterly astOunded to see the insect
come from his ear, fly several feet and
then collapse and fall dead. 1t had
been snugly enscOnced just inside the
drum of the ear during all this time.
He has it in alcohol.

Rival Petroleum Powers.

The United States and Russia are
now rival petroleum Powers. Within
ten years the Paris ROthschilds have
invested $lO,O00,0OO in the Baku oil

wig Nobel has made the Caspian dis

OF lamp oil in that quarter now exceeds

TANK steamers has been built: thou.

the burmese oil fields as immensely

tension. The chief deposits are at

sixty miles above the terminus of Ran

The other day, when a grocer was IN
a great hurry and his store full of Gus
toners, he wanted some change, and
handing five-dOllar bill to a Young
man who had been asking the price Of
plug tobacco, sent him out to get small
money. The messenger returned in a
few minutes and laid four dollars and a
half in silver on the counter.
HOw's this?" queried the grocer.

The grocer ran out and found the
patrOlman and told him the case. and
was replied to with:
can't arrest him without a war
rant and l don't believe you can get
the warrant.
He went back TO the store to lick the
placid sharper, but the latter peeled off
and put himself on the defence. and
the job was abandoned.

COTTON PICKING.

The truitlon Of the cotton planter s
hope of successful, practical ma
chine for gathering cotton is yet in
allegiance, and the work must still be
done by nimble human fingers. Cot
ton picking BY hand is BY far the
most expensive operation involved in
the production OF raw cotton. More
over the cost Of nearly every opera
tlon- except picking, may be reduced
IN proportion as the yield per acre
Is greater Much has been said and
written of late years about their i'm
portance OF gathering cotton free
from trash, to use the farmers YER
nacular. While it is desirable to
house the cotton as free from leaf
and hull as may be, it is of first i'm
portance that the crop be gone ov-
er as often as the quantity open at
one time is sufficient to enable hands
to do a fair days work In the in
terest OF economy and with limited
picking force, celebrity Of movement,
nlmbleness OF fingers, and the weight
OF cotton gathered per hand per day,
are the points to be observed.
